Today's Guest: Raymond Schlogel, indie
filmmaker, For Love & Stacie

For Love & Stacie, a film by Raymond Schlogel

All the air escaped my lungs at the end of Ray Schlogel’s
independent film, For Love &
Stacie. I was angry, petulant… and then the credits rolled
and I was reminded that it was a drama, not a documentary. Poor,
dumb ol’ Mr. Media was so sucked into this tale of heartbreak and
obsession that I completely lost sight of what I was watching. And
that’s when I realized what a fine job the independent Austin-based
filmmaker—who wrote, starred, directed and produced Stacie—had
done.

RAY SCHLOGEL
podcast excerpt: "(Chris Brogan) took up the cause. I can't
thank him enough. He's got 90,000 followers. For him to take a risk
outside the box of what he usually does and mention this little
indie film was more than flattering. I have had a lot of people
tweeting about it, posting about it, who have heard about it
directly from Chris."

Raymond Schlogel, director, 'For Love &
Stacie'

Schlogel came to my attention in an unusual way: I read about
him in one of uber-networker Chris Brogan’s voluminous
posts. Brogan wondered why Schlogel’s indie filmmaking gem hadn’t
received more attention and asked his readers to help the man out.
I read Brogan daily and get a lot of value and insight from his
blog so I decided to pay it forward by inviting Schlogel on Mr.
Media. You can watch For Love & Stacie for free at
Schlogel’s website, ForLoveandStacey.com. He accepts donations there and
you can also order a DVD copy of the film.
